About the Author
With a career spanning over twenty years, Mike Wolfer has been both writer and illustrator on many of Avatar Press' most popular titles, collaborating with some of the industry's most renowned writers including Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis and Alan Moore. As the guiding force behind such horror titles as NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, FRIDAY THE 13TH, and ESCAPE OF THE LIVING DEAD, Wolfer cemented his reputation as one of today's top creators of supernatural tales, a trend has continues with his writing credits on Warren Ellis' GRAVEL and Garth Ennis' STITCHED, both of which he also illustrates. Avatar's sister company, Boundless Comics, has also benefited from Wolfer's flair for the macabre, as he writes both Brian Pulido's LADY DEATH and the ""bad girl"" extravaganza title, WAR GODDESS.

SPOILERS
Like all final books in a beloved series there are lots of revelations, storylines are tied up, and the ending is a controversial one. It seems the end of the world brought about by the Freakangels was not the end of the world... entirely, and the Freakangels decide to do something equally massive with their powers but this time for constructive purposes not destructive. And some of the Freakangels get drunk and hook up.
It's hard to talk about the aspects of the plot as it'd just give away too much of the content of the book but suffice it to say that if you've enjoyed the series thus far, Warren Ellis' ending does a fine job of finishing it satisfactorily and without betraying the characters or the story. It's an ending, but don't expect explanations of who the Freakangels really are, how and why they have their powers, and the world beyond Whitechapel - you won't get it.
What you get is a great, intelligent and exciting ending to a superb series that has been one triumphant book after another. Ellis and Paul Duffield have created an incredible comics series that ought to be better known and even could be a brilliant TV show. It's just a shame the series ended after 6 books, I could've read 6 more but it ends well and I can wholeheartedly recommend the entire series for fans of well written, imaginative comics with a hint of steampunk and sci-fi thrown into the mix. Freakangels rule!

Sadly even the best of serials come to an end, its just to be hoped that they leave us with a feeling of a satisfactory resolution, a job well done. This book does this to my satisfaction.
My only complaint about Freakangels is that it was always going to be too short, i want more please sir... and as complaints go i think this is a desirable one. The whole story is not tied up nicely, you will be left asking "what about xxx", well i guess thats just life. And thats just one of this serials great strenghts, that despite the fantastical mind powers its just a story of 12 very young and confused people just as F....ed up as the rest of us. And this book resolves thier situation properly and thats what it absolutely had to do.
I want more please.

You've got to start with book 1 to really understand the plot and story line. It's very different in that these 12 kids born on the same day at the same time all around England, then the world ends and London is drowned. No electricity, no services of any kind. These kids have special abilities, some can teleport, some see the future, but all deemed dangerous by the government. Well, they survived but now it's just a daily struggle to survive in this post apocalyptic world.
